    "Dell goes Ballmer on HP show" -or the other way round, like "Security goes Ballmer on Dell vs HP rumble"- would have been much more alluring.

    Urgh childish.

    And as the anonymous coward above says it really is the wrong audience.

    It really smacks of a start-up company, let alone one that ignored the channel sellers for however many years and then all of a sudden wants a piece of the pie.

    Paris...any publicity is good publicity i suppose.

    All Hail Caesar!

    In Dell's defense, have you seen those Caesar bouncers? They're pretty hot. Assuming no one spiked the water in Lake Austin, I think the only explanation why otherwise intelligent people would pepper a competitor's conference with paper SPAM, is...well, all rise for Caesar!
